Prerequisites for Creating a Connection
Before you create the Mailchimp Adapter connection, you need to create a Mailchimp account and add the application. You can use an existing Mailchimp account, but you need to add the application to create a connection. Use this procedure to create a new Mailchimp account and add the application.
Note:
To create a connection, a trusted Mailchimp
public certificate is required. Typically, the certificate is included with Oracle Integration. If you cannot locate the Mailchimp public certificate, download it from https://login.mailchimp.com/oauth2/metadata. Rename
the public certificate file extension to .crt
. To upload the
certificate, see Upload a Certificate to Connect with External Services.
